One of the things I’ve loved about blogging is getting to see the growth of comments on my blog over the years. I’m always incredibly thankful for those that actually take the time to leave their thoughts on my blog posts, and it makes it that much more inspiring for me to continue to write here. I make practically no money off of my blog, so my efforts here are strictly authentic in being helpful, entertaining and to connect with as many people as I can. However with more comments comes ...

How 1 Blog Post Increased My Klout Score
I know what you’re thinking; big deal right? I know. It’s not a big deal at all really. But I did find it very interesting based on my particular circumstances, and I thought sharing might be useful in some way to some of my readers. So I went on a blog hiatus for a few weeks, and it certainly made a significant impact on my Klout score. I was hovering around 70 for awhile, and after about 4 weeks of not blogging, I dropped down to 67. I’m not entirely sure what I ...

My Backlinks Strategy Sucks, And What I Plan To Do About It
I’ve written on my blog for quite some time, and I’ve had a mild amount of success with it depending on how you define success. I’m fairly happy with the level of engagement I get, and I get a nice size audience somewhat regularly when I actually find the time to post on a regular basis. My Google Page Rank was hovering quite nicely at 6 for quite some time, but dropped to 4 in the past few weeks. My Alex rank continues to climb a bit as I’m dancing in the 300,000 range. But where I’ve been ...
Triberr: How I Increased My Reach To Over 300,000 (And Growing)
A few weeks ago I stumbled across a very interesting tool called Triberr. Simply put, Triberr is a way for you to retweet other bloggers posts that you know and trust, and have them potentially do the same for you as well.

At first it may come off as spammy, and that was my ...
